Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim only made 11 runs before he was run out by Sikandar Raza.

Al Hasan and Shuvagata Hom stabilised the innings with a 54-run partnership, during which Al Hasan registered his third Test century, before he was clean bowled by Malcolm Waller for 137 off 180 deliveries, which included 18 boundaries and two sixes.

Hom went on to score 15 runs before he was caught by debutant Brian Chari at deep midwicket off the bowling of Waller.

Taijul Islam managed to make a career-best 32 before he was caught by Masakadza at slip off the bowling of Tendai Chatara.

Shahadat Hossain mustered 18 runs before he was caught by debutant Natsai Mushangwe at mid-on off the bowling of Chatara.

Bangladesh were bowled out for 433 when Jubair Hossain was given out lbw for one run to hand Mushangwe his first Test wicket.

Hossain decided to review the decision, but replays showed that the ball was pitching in line and going on to hit the stumps. This led to the third umpire upholding the original decision.

Waller, Chatara and Tinashe Panyangara picked up two wickets apiece, while Masakadza, Mushangwe and Elton Chigumbura chipped in with one wicket each.

Trailing by 433, Zimbabwe got off to a poor start as Raza was given out lbw off the bowling of Islam for 11.

Raza reviewed the decision immediately, but replays showed that the ball was pitching in line and going on to hit the stumps. This led to the third umpire upholding the original decision.

Chari and Masakadza amassed an unbeaten 36-run partnership before stumps was called.

Chari finished on 21 off 63 balls, which included one boundary and a six, while Masakadza remained undefeated on 15 off 35 deliveries, which included two boundaries.

Islam was the only bowler to take a wicket.

Zimbabwe ended day two on 53/1 and will continue batting tomorrow at 09:30 local time or 03:30 GMT.
